Shamelessly stolen from every other forum on the internet today. Jay Leno having a bit of fun in an SLS through the Hollywood Hills. Car sounds awesome.

Looks like you’ve got it sussed. I also like the look of Franklin Canyon Drive running parallel to Coldwater Canyon. Now all we need to do is jump on a plane over there, get a hire car, and show those Yanks what’s what with a good lap time.

Used to do the same thing over here too, going through maps looking for the squiggliest roads, then go driving them. Kirkstone Pass in Cumbria is a fav. Got some pics on my flickr page cos I’m sad like that.

my missus used to live on kirkstone pass and worked in the pub at the top, i've driven that road hundreds of time's in my old 5 turbo, but that was years ago.

Renault 5 Turbo? They’re the business, I’ve always wanted one of those. Think a clean one is quite rare these days.

Rich, it’s a great website isn’t it, if you haven’t seen it, check out this vid of his Bentley Speed 6, the sound it make is incredible.
